u-boot will have turned on the power to the usb host ports, so mark them
as regulator-boot-on, this stops the power on the ports from temporarily
getting turned off during boot, causing issues with e.g. usb powered
harddisks.

Stupid question: shouldn't u-boot set this property?

We could make u-boot set this property but that will require a lot of code on
u-boot's side which is simply not there atm. And traditionally this property
is is simply a part of the dts files as shipped with the kernel.
